What do you think is happening here? The radio has a lot of static, but if I put my hand up it is a perfect signal
I didn't think our bodies could reflect/interfere with radio waves??
@omarshehata As approximately a large bag of water, your shape can almost certainly influence RF wave absorption and changing the bag shape likely changes any localised areas of signal loss.
The key line from the Wikipedia on this would be "Radiocommunication at GHz frequencies is very difficult in fresh waters and even more so in salt waters." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_absorption_by_water#Microwaves_and_radio_waves
@shivoa woaaah, this is so cool, thank you for explaining!!
